Bravo, the last thing we want on urg is dissent, we have had that,
fortunately only in small bursts in the past. I know that all of us
urglers do not want that sort of thing again, we all get on well, and
many of us know each other in real life. I am not interested in
fights on other groups, I don't want to see it mentioned here.

I consider snipping to be more offensive than repeating the original post
unless it was of an oversize or offensive nature.



1. Failure to snip wastes my time


Snipping wastes the poster's time.

You don't have to read the whole post.

In this group, it's usually quite easy to snip the irrelevant bits from a
post because it's so often a specific question or answer that matters and
that can be isolated. On other groups that might not be the case.
Personally, I prefer this group's custom of snipping because trawling
through yards of old material to read one sentence at the end is
irritating
and silly. In the end, I find I avoid posts from the people who do that.
So, obviously my opinion is different to yours but that's the way of
newsgroups, too.

I'll see you in there :-)

I think that's making the assumption that your time is worth more than my
time, which it is not, to me, especially if I have to scroll through inches
of verbiage just to see if there's anything worth reading at the end of it.
I don't mean you personally, Mary but the non-snipper versus the snipper.
It's rather like people who are always late but who appear to think they're
so busy and important others will wait around for them. I don't do that and
I don't read people who fail to snip irrelevant material.

Good Morning - Sunny here again !

But who is to judge what is irrelevant material irrelevant material ?
The writer presumably does not think it is irrelevant.
